Updated MacOS (Ventura 13.2.1) - Print settings not saving

Hello

 

My Mac updated this morning to Ventura 13.2.1. 

I currently have the latest Photoshop version installed, 24.1.1.

 

I am experiencing a infuriating problem when printing. The media type reverts back to 'Platinum Paper' every single time, despite me choosing 'Lustre' and then saving as Print preset. I change to the settings I want, click save, then go back into the settings before I have even printed and they are reverted back to 'Platinum Paper'. Absolutely infuriating. I'm pretty sure even the media size settings aren't saving either.

 

Got my MacBook out instead to print on. This still has Ventura 13.1 installed on it, and Photoshop 24.1.1 on it, and seems to be working as it should, whereby the print settings allow me to select the media type without reverting to Photo Pro Platinum Paper. So I am guessing this must be an issue relating to the latest Ventura 13.1.2 update?

    This is an OS (not Adobe) issue, many settings (in the print driver dialog) for some reason, are not sticky with Ventura. I've seen this too. Even making presets in my Epson driver doesn't always work. 

    Color Settings should be grayed out when using Application (Photoshop) Manages Color. Been this way for years. That too isn't always sticky which will ruin a print if not using this mode. Again, this is Apple's doing. Ventura with printing (and System Preferences) is a GUI mess.

      Thanks for the info. Reassuring to know it is most likely to be to do with the OS update.

       

      Do you think the solution would be to try and revert back to the previous OS?

       

      I run a business making prints and need presets with correct colour profiles and paper settings on a daily basis. I've wasted a hell of a lot of paper and ink today with the settings not sticking to how I wanted them to be!

      The previous OS was fine.

      Update: This is also now happening on the MacBook. Printed absolutely fine with the desired settings first off, and now every other time it is reverting back to Platinum settings and Colour Matching is 'greyed out' too. Is this a problem with the new Photoshop update?
